Yes, Buenos Aires looks very nice, at least the city center. But Argentina's economy is in pretty bad shape (which is the norm!). The current inflation rate is around 250% (!!!), and over 40% of the population lives below the poverty line.

When I visited Buenas Aires many years ago and we went to a street where the restaurants grilled churrasco in the front windows. Is it still like that? Churrasco(mixed grill) had mixed meats and sausages. Fantastic! Also Argentinian empanadas are my favorite. In south Florida you can get them since many people here are from South America

[@CarlosNYCVA]

Another great video, Johnny! Also, I notice you pronounce thank you in Spanish as they do in Spain, such as 'grathias'. FYI: Only Spain pronounces it that way; the rest of Latin America (all of South America except Brazil, Central America, the Caribbean, etc.) pronounce it 'gracias' with the c sounding like an s. Enjoy the rest of your stay, and be safe!

[@lisderoa]

Empanadas you buy usually are baked, but they can be also fried. There are different traditional recipes for the beef ones, arriving from different provinces of Argentina. The ones made following the Salta (Salteñas), Tucumán (tucumanas) and Santiago del Estero (Santiagueñas) are among the top recipes. Caminito in La Boca neighbourhood is not the real caminito, because the Tango is from a province in the Nortwest of Argentina.

[@JohnnyFD]

Good to know! They are all delicious though!

4:10 Im not saying it on a wrong way, but that is just the perception of Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is very white, yeah. But when you go to the rest of the country you see way more diversity in "skin colors". In other words, visually people in Buenos Aires is very European immigrant-like while the people in the countryside is more indigenous-like. Lot of people think that Argentina on itself is Buenos Aires when is very much the opposite.

[@fernandogarcia-wq1qm]

no es asi, todo depende del lugar, hay provincias con muchos inmigrantes y hay con pocos como el norte

You went to a Spanish restaurant because according to the guide, Argentinians are of Spanish origin. But in fact, most Argentinians are of Italian origin - so it's strange the guide would tell you that!

[@JohnnyFD]

The two are relatively close. There were 3.2 million Italians immigrants compared to the 2.4 million Spaniards who settled in Argentina.

[@AugustoLuis859]

@@JohnnyFD Italianos y españoles fueron el grueso de la inmigración 1880-1960, en ese tiempo también arribaron otros inmigrantes europeos: alemanes, franceses, rusos, suizos, polacos y en menor medida sirio libaneses, búlgaros y también galeses e irlandeses...En las últimas décadas también de países limítrofes como Perú, Bolivia y Paraguay y recientemente chinos, japoneses, africanos y Venezolanos, también algunos estadounidenses y nuevamente algunos europeos. Todos estos contingentes se sumaron a los pobladores coloniales españoles, indígenas y mestizos, algunos se mezclaron otros conservan sus raíces. Por eso los argentinos somos étnicamente variados.

[@aviadilo]

@@JohnnyFD According to the Wikipedia article "Italian Argentines", 62.5% of Argentines have some degree of Italian ancestry. I'm sure there's a lot of Italian-Spanish overlap, with most people being a mixture of the two, but the Italian element is more dominant.

[@john.aboyce9455]

Way better than Dubai

[@Josecitox]

I'm sure people told you Johnny but funnily enough the breach between the official rate and the "blue" rate is becoming closer so for those $100 you actually got less than what it could've been just 6 months ago, at one point the difference was almost 60% or more, i literally couldn't keep up with it even though i live here lol, i'm from Córdoba. As for politics, you'll find mindblowing that the ones that love dictators are the equivalent to the democratic party in the US, yes, our left and the right was the one responsible for the dictatorship funded and empowered by the US. Also, not sure if you're going to travel to other parts of the country but if you do, i would suggest going to the city of Salta Capital, by far the one that holds way more of the real native culture of the country as a whole, from foods to music, the story of Gauchos basically our cowboys, Mate, Empanadas and more. Tango is only something that represents Buenos Aires inmigrant history and culture and you won't see it anywhere else pretty much.

[@toddjohnsen7996]

Absolutely good points mentioned. I've lived in Argentina before as a Western foreigner. It was curious to me how liberalism has really destroyed Argentina and yet this ideology is the dominant force down there. In Russia, liberalism also wreaked destruction until Putin took over and turned the country around. It amazes me that Argentines, en masse, still fall for and tout liberalism, hook, line and sinker despite the fact that economically and socially, liberalism has made Argentina a shell of its former self. Even the Peronists have been completely subverted and turned into a freak-show resembling nothing less than Western-style **minists and collectively, unlikeable, authoritarian liberal bullies.
